As everyone has said above, you've got every right to expect genuinely unique attention from your surgeon. In the early days of my BC diagnosis, I actually researched up and went to 2 different surgeons (one a second opinion) just so I could see what I thought of the 2 different approaches, and determine who I responded to best. I was so happy, in the end, with my decision. I know I'm lucky because I was able to do this through the private system...but even so, you have every right to expect the surgeon sees YOU.
It is sooooooo important to the process that you feel happy in your team, that you can trust them and that you genuinely feel they have your back: if you don't feel this; get a new team.
